Build a Personal Academic or Professional Website

Know Yourself! 

Understanding your own needs, capacity, and skillsets will certainly inform your decision about which platform to use. Here are some criteria you may want to consider to help you choose a hosting site:

• What is my budget? 
• Does the platform offer templates that work for me?
• Does the platform offer enough data storage?
• Does the platform support e-commerce?

Use your professional name, if it’s available.

Keep it simple: seanpatrickknowlton@wordpress.com, for example, if using a hosting platform.

Feeling fancy? 

If you'd like your name to be JohnDoe.com, you can register a domain name for an annual fee:
